The sequel is set to take place on Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico, with tickets going for $1,400 and up to $1.1m. When speaking about the highest-priced package, McFarland has said: “You will be on a boat, have the luxury yachts that we partner with who will be docked and parked outside the island.”

A minimum of $500,000 will go towards the money still owed by McFarland, estimated to be close to $26m.

Amazing to me that anybody would spend real money on anything this fraudster promotes.

i wonder if the guy that was going to give a BJ to an investor is part of this one too.

I bet nearly all the million dollar tickets will be given to infuencers to promote the event. They don't actually have any value.
